Today is a bit grey for August, when we usually have bright sunshine and blue ocean.  Often, you can see Mt. Baker.  Not today.  Instead we have grey on grey.  You can still see the islands out in the Haro straight, though.  

I am also in grey - just casual, comfy walking around the neighbourhood gear.  

Why not spice up the grey a bit? So I threw on my oceany copper pendant.  

Yes, you most certainly can wear jewelry on casual day.

More samples of upcoming pieces when my collections start releasing.  These are patterned metal, made from bronze, copper and steel.  I wanted to show how fantastic the patterned pieces look together, when the shape is the same flowing curl.  I have shown off the earrings before - on their own and with a different pendant.

The flowing shape reminds me of a wave or of a whale's back.  The first collections will all feature this shape, which I am calling Ocean Currents.  

First release coming soon.  Want in?  Insiders shop first on any new collection release.  

As I age, I become more of myself.  When we are young and starting out in life, we are full of hope, grand ideas and are somewhat gangly, like a colt running for the first time.  

Life has knocked me down more than I care to admit.  And yet, each time I grow stronger from the experience, digging deep into my own treasure chest of hope and skill and finding my way back to the surface again.    

And now, I know I can choose my path:

* I choose elegance - beauty that is graceful in it's simplicity.

* I choose to be bold, spirited, daring - audacious.

My jewelry represents those who choose strength and beauty - those who are Elegantly Audacious.

I am loving how the light changes the colour of this copper and enamel pendant.  Here it looks blue.

And then see the blue green.

And then with some beach treasures from Prince Edward Island, green, like the sea glass.  

Which makes some sense, since enamel is glass fused to metal.  It is one of my favourite ways to add colour to metal.

I am partial to blues right now.  All oceany and beachy under the summer sun.  I am loving my steel pendant and earrings with sea green and ocean blue enamels.  Can you feel the tradewind breezes?  

Both of these are prototypes for my upcoming collections.

I like to wear my patterned metal pendant with my Parsley and Sage tunic.  

Even with all the patterns, to me, it goes together beautifully.  

So go ahead, be Elegantly Audacious and mix up your patterns!

PS:  I hear Parsley and Sage are coming out with a Leona tunic...gonna have to check that out.

I do it...

YES, I wear black in the summer.  

Black tops and black, steel jewelry.  I just make sure there is a pop of colour - in this case, sea green on my steel ocean current pendant.

In this post, I talked about pairing my bronze Ocean Current pendant with bronze earrings, for a casual look.  

Well, I also like to pair it with Sea Curl patterned metal earrings.  This is a bit dressier and the bronze base for the pattern matches the bronze on the Ocean Current pendant.  I still like to wear this combo for everyday use, though.

I am pet sitting this week.  You can see that Groovy was happy to see me.  

I like to wear my bronze pendant every day; it goes with everything and can move from casual pet sitting day time to dress up evening without changing.  Very versatile.

For everyday wear casual wear, I like to pair pieces made from the same metal.  In this case, bronze is on display - my structural, hand-carved Ocean Current pendant with Shell earrings.  Bronze is the perfect durable metal and with it's gold like lustre, it matches any outfit.

Remember the '90's, when your outfit and accessories had to be matchy, matchy?  

Or maybe, like me, you had your "colours" done and learned you were supposed to only wear silver for your skin tone?  

BE BOLDLY YOU - wear what you want and what makes you feel good.  Mix your metals - like me, with my bronze shell earrings and copper enamelled ocean current pendant.
